Why wasn't I following Rockne O'Bannon's Tweets earlier?

THIS WILL BE AWESOME.

(Psst... O'Bannon, could you please buy the rights to the Stargate franchise from MGM?)

Eh, I'll continue to wait for more news.

I can't help but wonder about Brad Wright negotiating with MGM & SyFy to save the Stargate franchise, while SyFy was in talks with O'Bannon about a new science fiction series.

Hollywood pisses me off.

So, is this project HUGE or what?

[campylobacter.livejournal.com]

Maybe a HUGE budget?

Or a HUGE amount of hype, only to be canceled after 11 episodes? :(

May I suggest the folowing cast?

Claudia Black
Michael Shanks
Joe Flanigan
David Hewlett

I am sure they are available and Joe could learn to love puppets. It wasn't that he hated puppets...just Hermiod!

OH HELL YES.

Throw in Cliff SImon and Torri Higginson, and I'm SO THERE. Ooh, and Gina Torres. And Lexa Doig.

Heck, I'd watch the fuck out of any original O'Bannon sci fi series.
